LOGINMy eighteenth birthday wasn’t just a milestone; it was supposed to be my rescue. For twelve years, I’ve been the Crescent Pack’s shadow, an orphan with no siblings to lean on and no parents to shield me. I had survived on the hope that the Moon Goddess would finally give me a place to belong, a soul specifically chosen to keep me company. I waited for a spark. Instead, I got a wildfire that consumed me. Being mated to Kai was the ultimate prize for every Beta in the territory, a dream they whispered about in the training rings. But the Goddess has a twisted sense of humor. She granted a wish neither of us wanted, and before the bond could even settle, Kai tore it apart. The rejection didn't just break my heart, it shattered something deep in my marrow. The physical agony was a dull throb compared to the humiliation, the sneers of the pack, the laughter of the elite, and the sight of my destined partner looking at me with nothing but disgust. In their eyes, I was a broken girl who should have chosen death over the shame of being rejected. They think the story ends with me crawling into a corner to wither away. What they don't know is that the blood of the weak can hold the oldest secrets. Deep beneath the surface, runes more ancient than the Alpha’s lineage are beginning to glow, pulsing with a power strong enough to destroy the chaos they’ve sown. My power isn't just waking up, it’s starving. And this time, it’s demanding far more than a simple apology. It’s demanding a reckoning.
View MoreThe question hung in the humid air of the bedroom, heavy and vibrating with a fragile, heartbreaking weight. “Look at me and tell me the truth, do you really love me?”Her lower lip trembled, and those large, tear-filled obsidian eyes stared into mine, searching for a lifeline. I felt the breath leave my lungs. A brief pause stretched between us, a microsecond where the universe seemed to stop spinning, waiting on my answer. My wolf roared in agreement, a thunderous, undeniable affirmation that echoed through every fiber of my being. “Yes,” I breathed, the word torn from the deepest, most honest depths of my chest. “Yes, Lia. I love you. I am so sorry it took me getting broken to see that you are my entire world.”The moment the words left my lips, the last remaining distance between us vanished. I didn't wait for her to reply. I couldn't. I bent my head and captured her lips with mine.The kiss was instantaneous, explosive, and entirely consumed by a raw, desperate hunger. It wasn
The silence that followed my threat was absolute. I watched the mighty Alpha Kai, the man who had frozen me out of his life for months, stand paralyzed before me. His hand hung in the air between us for a fraction of a second before dropping uselessly to his side. The raw agony in his eyes was almost beautiful.For the past few days, I had been the weak one. I had been the pathetic, arranged wife weeping in a massive, empty bed, praying that my fated-mate-rejected husband would see me as something more than a transactional merger. I had watched him pine after June, a ghost who didn't even want him, while he used my father’s wealth to rebuild his pack’s crumbling infrastructure.But the weeping girl was dead. Kai had killed her himself.Looking at him now, shattered, desperate, and pleading for a forgiveness he hadn't earned, a cold, brilliant realization washed over me. Pride was a dangerous thing. It had blinded Kai, and now, it was blinding him again. He thought I was just angry. H
“I’ll try to make things right Dorian, it might not be all successful but we can work around it.”Dorian looked at me, worry, ease, tension and fear all settling into his facial features. A slow, genuine smile broke through his rugged beard, softening the hard lines of a warrior’s face.“This, Kai, is the man I grew up with.”His words tasted like ash and hope all at once. He patted my shoulder, a heavy, grounding weight, before turning to leave the hallway. As his footsteps faded down the stone corridor, the silence of the pack house rushed in to suffocate me.‘The man he grew up with.’If only Dorian knew how hollow that man felt. For days, I had been a ghost driven by a singular, burning obsession: justice. I had built a fortress of ice around my heart, convinced that burning the world down was the only way to keep my people safe.And Lia and June had been the casualty of that war.June was my mate. The Moon Goddess’s perfect design, a gentle soul whose laughter used to have the
I walk to the mirror, the tall one in the corner, the one I use to check my appearance before Kai comes to bed, the one where I've spent months practicing smiles I don't feel.The woman staring back at me is a stranger.Her eyes are red-rimmed. Her lips are pale, bloodless, pressed into a thin line that looks more like a scar than a smile. The bite mark on her throat, his bite, his claim, his brand, stands out against her skin like a bruise that never healed.And her hands are shaking.Not with fear.With rage."She stole everything," I whisper to my reflection. The words come out raw, shredded, nothing like the soft, patient voice I've been using for months. "My past. My present. My mate."The reflection doesn't answer. It just watches me with hollow eyes, waiting for me to say the thing I've been too afraid to admit.She's going to steal my future too.The thought lands like a blade between my ribs.I press my palm against the cold glass, and for a moment, I imagine it's Lia's face
I had seen the courtyard. Every wolf in the pack had. It was where justice was served, where punishments were carried out, where the Alpha reminded everyone exactly who held the power. I had stood in that courtyard as a child and watched wolves receive ten lashes, twenty lashes, fifty lashes. I had
The door to my chamber was standing open. A figure stood there, framed in the doorway, blocking the morning sunlight that fought to enter the bowels of the palace. The shadow it cast was long and thin, cutting across the filth of my floor like a blade. I could tell from the hue of the shadow, the s
“Do not think of it in such common terms, June,” he whispered, his voice smooth as silk but heavy as lead. “You are looking at this through the lens of human morality, but we are wolves. We are creatures of destiny and design.”He stepped even closer, his heat radiating through my thin, silver dres
Kai’s large hand buried into Lia’s hair, pulling her head back just enough to allow him to graze her neck. He was suckling at her skin, a slow, possessive mark of a new Luna, claiming her in front of the very woman he had discarded moments before.I was crouched on the floor, my fingers digging so
